Headline: French Articulated Lorry with Alleged Forged License Plate and Sunday Driving Ban Violation: No Credible Evidence Found
In a recent investigation, claims have surfaced regarding a French articulated lorry that was allegedly involved in an incident on July 6, 2025, on the A40 towards Dortmund. The vehicle was reportedly carrying a suspicious-looking license plate, which was found to be a number and letter combination from the trailer's original German registration.
According to the reports, the German registration, originally from the trailer, was no longer valid and was used in a forged manner. This misuse of license plates was a factor in the criminal charges filed against both the driver and the owner of the lorry.
The violation of the mandatory insurance law was also cited as a reason for the criminal charges. The driver was prohibited from continuing with the trailer until further notice due to the violation.
However, a thorough search of open sources and law enforcement reports has failed to uncover any verified evidence supporting these claims. The closest relevant report is a July 7, 2025 incident in the UK where a truck struck a railway bridge, but this does not involve a French lorry, forged plates, driving ban violation, or criminal charges beyond fines and license points.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office daily log for July 6, 2025, mentions vehicle accidents and other crimes, but no reported incident matching the query with an articulated lorry or forgery is found. As of now, no credible information supports the existence of such an incident on July 6, 2025.
It is important to note that the German registration had been invalid for about a year, and the country code of the French registration was covered with blue foil. However, the visible white "D" was not concealed by the foil.
In the absence of direct sources, further investigation and official police statements or credible news outlets would be necessary to confirm the details of this alleged incident. Until then, the claims remain unsubstantiated by available evidence.
- No evidence has been found to confirm that a French articulated lorry, alleged to have violated the driving ban and forged a license plate on July 6, 2025, is connected to a suspicious event on the A40 towards Dortmund.
- The investigation into the alleged incident had uncovered information about the driver and owner facing criminal charges due to the invalid German registration, misuse of license plates, and the violation of mandatory insurance law.
- On July 7, 2025, there was an incident in the UK where a truck struck a railway bridge, but it does not relate to an alleged French lorry with forged plates, a driving ban violation, or any criminal charges beyond fines and license points.
- Despite the visible white "D" on the French registration and the invalid German registration covered with blue foil, credible evidence supporting the incident remains unsubstantiated, and further investigation or official statements are required to confirm its existence.
